The mind-body connection. It’s real. And in no
other condition than one related to the spine is this more real. The spine
is the support for the body. When it hurts, the body
knows it. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation knows it, too. Tonawanda back pain
and neck pain and spine-related pain patients know it, too. The chiropractic
treatment plan at our office for
spine-related pain effectively relieves
both body and mind pain to let our patients find
a satisfying quality of life. Back pain’s
depression often is relieved with our Cox®
Technic System of decompression.
MIND AND BODY: DEPRESSION IN BACK PAIN PATIENTS
Leading causes of disability globally incorporate musculoskeletal diseases and mental
disorders like anxiety and depression. A report of patients with lumbar
spondylolisthesis showed how anxiety and
depression have an effect on a person’s
well-being. Emotional distress and disability that patients feel
negatively affects their overall well-being. (1) A new
review of medical studies connects these two concerns,
too. Anxiety and cervical/lumbar disc herniation, mood/anxiety and lower bone
mineral density in men, chronic low back pain and depression, life satisfaction
improvement and bone loss prevention in postmenopausal women, quality of life deterioration
and multiple osteoporotic fractures. Adults over 45 old with
musculoskeletal diseases mentally struggle with the impact these issues
have on their lifestyle. (2) That is where chiropractic care helps. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation offers evidence-based chiropractic care in
the form of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to ease
pain and place
control of its effect on our back pain patients’ lives back into their hands. There is hope. There is life during and after
treatment. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is ready for our
Tonawanda back pain patients every step of the way. Using
anti-depressants – anti-cholinergic drugs - may not be the answer for depressed
patients. They are shown to raise
the risk of dementia with long-term use. These drugs stop the
neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and peripheral nervous system. (3)
We all need clear minds to deal with life with and without back pain.
THE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY OF BACK PAIN
Depression and anxiety are states of mind most of us
contend with at some point in life. For chronic low back
pain patients, depression and anxiety frequently go
hand-in-hand with their pain experience. Logically,
higher levels of depression often come from more pain and a lower
sense of personal control of pain and overall health. More anxiety often extends
from deeper beliefs about negative effects
of illness, negative emotional thoughts of the illness, and
depression. These conclusions support the need for more honest
advising of chronic back pain patients. (4) You can trust Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation to be
honest!
HELP FOR DEPRESSION: Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Help for back pain depression is built into the chiropractic
treatment plan, especially exercise. Exercise is valuable
for the body. That is a known fact. Is exercise
good for the mind? For those of us dealing with chronic low back pain –
Tonawanda chiropractic patients and your Tonawanda
chiropractor – the more specific curiosity is whether
exercise is beneficial for chronic low back pain patients’ minds. A recent
study states that symptoms of depression were decreased
in such adults who used exercise (low dose) and manual therapy
and/or general strengthening and moderate exercise. (5) Neither came out ahead
of the other. Both showed promise in lessening
depression. That’s good news.
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation ensures that Tonawanda chiropractic
patients know this and delivers safe, gentle, effective,
pain-relieving treatment.
